The way we are trying to replicate look and material without even caring for different weather conditions or the surrounding aesthetics makes me wonder.

Is Indian architecture become a subject at all?

Thanks for participating Mr Arikrishnan,
South of India has been better able to keep Ancient architecture and values intact as the invasions mostly happened from North. 
The new building coming up in south as well do not reflect to carry the quality elements from our past.

Thanks for the referral Mr Ravindra Sharma JI.
I think ours is good.
Example: our ancient temple towers in southern part of our country, palaces & monuments in northern part of our country, and the existing and ongoing multi-storied buildings & mals.

The architecture that was prevelant in india, particularly with reference to houses was very well reasoned for our climate. I remember my grandparent's house which used to stay cool in the hottest summer!.Now-a-days only the wealthy build like that. What was the norm has now become exclusive and fashionable.

Dynasties ruled us and preferred their own styles of architecture. The zealots strictly adhered to their own styles while the moderates created a fusion as token of harmony. 
India today is a free nation yet has absolutely no interest left in either discovering their roots. The minimum we could do was to research and learn a few good things from the past and apply. Or at least ensure the structures being created today are in harmony with culture and thought and  not appear HOSTILE to their surrounding.
